THREE YEARS OLD! Imagine your 3 year old baby with 3rd degree burns from the waist down. Then imagine it was done intentionally. This would fill any parent with rage, which is exactly what could have happened here. But our author, Bianca Mya, was way more concerned about her son. They spent months in the hospital, she refused to leave his side.

Imagine being 3 years old, not able to talk because of trauma. You have a mom and 2 sisters and your momma's boyfriend abuses you while she is at work. Every chance he gets he is either hitting you or not feeding you and your sisters. When I pooped in my diaper, he got mad and put me in a scalding hot bathtub and left me there. My sister tried to pull me out...hard to imagine.

Opportunities came along for Bianca to tell her story to the local news and the whole community came together to support her and her family. She would say God was at work on their behalf and that must be true because the outpouring of love literally helped them survive and heal! Bianca and young KenKen wanted to tell their story to thank the wonderful people who helped along the way, to testify of God's goodness and grace, and to let the world know that having hope and never giving up is the only way to get closure from tragedy and trauma!
